Ootake can be downloaded from here its japanese though but not difficult to download and setup.

http://www.ouma.jp/ootake/

It plays both HES and PCE files and I think the default keyboard keys are RETURN=start, SPACE BAR=select, Z=button 2, X=button 1.

Tatsujin has a hidden sound option too.  Just score 7100 points and do a soft resent, next hold the select button while pressing start and u should access an enhanced options screen as mentioned by Rolins.

Kaminari has a website with HES and PCE music:

Is there an advantage to HES or PCE over the other?

HES are stripped down PCE ROMs. Naming them HES instead of PCE just makes it easier to remember if they're the full game or just the audio data. Most emulators can play them if you rename them with a PCE extension. But most players/plugins will only recognize them if the extension is HES.

Gotcha.  I downloaded the Ootake emulator and loaded up the HES file and I am not sure if it played or not (I don't have sound output hooked up to my Windows PC).  I didn't see any way of recording it to a WAV file so I could transfer it to my Mac, either.  I didn't even see any way to skip to the next track.  I was just planning on having the emulator convert certain tunes to WAV based on name (Brave Man, Unknown, etc) and listening to them on my real computer.

Windows sound cards have 3 colors on them... blue, pink and green.  Which is which?

When playing HES files with an emulator, the display remains blank. You can skip between tracks with buttons I and II, but that will prove difficult without a sound output.

Windows sound cards have 3 colors on them... blue, pink and green.  Which is which?

Let me check my SB Live... Blue is Line In, Pink is Mic In, Green is Line Out (speakers).

Thank you.  Is there a way to record directly to WAV from the emulator or do I need to use an external recorder?  Come to think of it, there might be a program that lets me record any sound made by the computer straight to a WAV or MP3 (WAV preferred).

Magicsofts Soundcapture is a great little free prog that records directly to mp3. No wav tho.

What game(s) has the best music to be found on a HuCard?  Both TurboGrafx-16 and PC Engine games count here... ah what the hell so do SuperGrafx games with all of their unbelievable extra audio power that makes real life sound fake.  I realize this is subjective, but I want to hear what YOU think is best.  What do I think is best?  That's tough as there is a lot, like:

Legendary Axe II
Jackie Chan's Action Kung-Fu
Blazing Lazerzzzz
Dragon Spirit
Wonder Boy III errr... I mean Dragon's Curse
etc etc etc

How about worst?  Hard to say, but there are some games that sound like the NES or worse, like Legend of Hero Tonma.  Sounds like a much lesser system than the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16.



I hope there isn't a similar thread in the archives because I like to be first at everything.

Este, you bumped a ten and a half year old thread. Do you spend your spare time looking through old threads?

There are still many games I have yet to play, but I forgot Dragons Curse was on card because the music is so good.

I love some Fantasy Zone, but the music is ear splitting.

I'll keep the year and a half old thread going as well.

This may sound silly but I've always been a fan of the Override soundtrack. There is a sound test for the game too ;)

If I had to pick US realeases I'd go with Ninja Spirit, Neutopia, and Dungeon Explorer.

That's probably why I've never heard of this thread, it sounds like my ideal thread! I LOVE me some PCE chiptunes~

That said though, I don't have the patience to read through 9 pages so I'll assume you've all already mentioned all the good ones like Devil's Crush, Super Star Soldier, Soldier Blade, Magical Chase, Bloody Wolf and the like, and crazydean just mentioned Dragon's Curse (which I LOOOOVE)
But you know another one that I REEEEALLY love? Cratermaze! The US version...
